The plan for this page is to build up a list of examples, as above, and include links to "teaching Higher work to Foundation students" videos and more easy on the eye student "remind-me" videos. For now though here is a list of situations where we have found asking students to "write that out long-windedly" has helped.
simplifypq: b^5 xb^3 and b^5 x b
simplifypq: b^5 div b^3 and b^5 div b
simplifypq: 3a^2b x 4a^3b^5 and ...
simplifypq: (c^2)^3 and (ab^3)^4
simplifypq: (3c^2)^4
simplify algebra simplifypq: 2g x 3g
simplify a fraction
have only 2nd part of 7timesFull etc - so best to record another
simplify a ratio
ratio: simplestform
factorise
factorise: 3x + 12
factorise: 4x^2 + 6xy
factorise: remind me 2 different letters
long multiplication
multiply: partitioning
multiply: 28 x £4.70
long division
divide: divide double digit
divide: divide 5Q
find the mean, median, mode or range from a frequency table

solve
solve: 4e + 22 = 70 (where the function machine is writing out all the things that happen to e long-windedly)
solve: m - 6 = 8 (where the function machine is writing out what happens to m long-windedly)
